Pet care experience
Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and have had them by my side my entire life. I currently have a playful pup of my own who’s turning two soon 🐾! Whether it’s a long walk or a drop-in visit, I truly enjoy caring for dogs and supporting their families when they need a hand. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and training levels—including those who pull on leash or get easily excited. I’m confident handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels with calm, consistent care. Right now, I walk five dogs for four regular clients—some through Rover and others from my local community. I’d love to welcome your pup into my routine and treat them like one of my own. I’m available for 30-minute walks or longer, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s needs and schedule.
Reviews
Frank has been a fantastic dog walker! He’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and provides detailed updates after every walk. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves him. Highly recommend!
Frank is an incredible caregiver and truly a friend to your pet! His experience with administering medication to special needs animals is impressive, and he offers thoughtful, high-quality attention every step of the way. The updates and photos he provides are always timely and reassuring, and his communication is clear, prompt, and kind. I highly recommend him to all pet parents!
Frank took time and definitely made our dogs happy. He had great communication. Would definitely use again!
Letting Frank walk my dog was a very pleasant experience. He was great to talk to and understood the walking directions specific to my dog with respect to the routes we take in the neighborhood. He is so kind and my dog is happy to go on walks with him! Looking forward to more walks with Frank!

Safety, trust & environment
I always follow each owner’s rules and routines closely—your preferences are my priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important consistency is, and I truly respect that every dog is unique and may need personalized care and attention. When I’m with your dog, they have my full focus. Their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
Information Frank D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet behaviors with strangers. Are they typically timid at first or are they welcoming to everyone. Also what is their favorite thing to do for energy usage (walks, runs, playing games, etc).
A typical day
Before any walk, I always take a moment to scout the area on Apple Maps to find nearby parks or grassy spots—places that make for a more enjoyable and enriching walk. I aim to bring dogs to locations that offer great sniffing opportunities to help tire them out mentally as well as physically. I also check the weather in advance and keep in close communication with pet parents, especially on warmer days. If temperatures are high, I’ll ask how your dog handles the heat and if you have preferred shady routes, to ensure their walk is both safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I love engaging dogs in active play—fetch in a fenced area or running together on leash. And when it’s hot out, If your pup enjoys water, playing with the hose is always a fun and refreshing option that I like to take advantage of! My own dog isn’t a fan, so I always enjoy the chance to splash around with dogs who are.

On weekends, I’m happy to offer longer visits or house sitting as needed. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll always do my best to meet your pet’s needs.
